TU Delft no longer under enhanced supervision after ‘mismanagement’

April 20, 2026 – TU Delft has sufficiently restored care for its employees, Minister of Education Rianne Letschert writes in a letter to the House of Representatives. The university came under fire in early 2024 after the Inspectorate concluded that there had been mismanagement. Shouting, threats, offensive remarks… Following a call for reports, the Inspectorate received no fewer than 148 reports from employees of Delft University of Technology about social safety concerns.

A new Executive Board is now in place, and the university is actively working on recovery. The Supervisory Board is performing its duties more effectively, and efforts are being made to improve leadership skills. The conclusion is that the institution no longer needs to remain under enhanced supervision. The Inspectorate does emphasize that TU Delft must continue addressing structural factors that contribute to social unsafety, such as “the existence of hierarchical relationships and informal networks.” / HOP, NS
